Aims/hypothesis: It is well established that physical activity, abdominal ectopic fat and glycaemic regulation are related but the underlying structure of these relationships is unclear. The previously proposed twin-cycle hypothesis (TC) provides a mechanistic basis for impairment in glycaemic control through the interactions of substrate availability, substrate metabolism and abdominal ectopic fa

An isotropic gradient-enhanced damage model is applied to shape optimisation in order to establish a computational optimal design framework in view of optimal damage distributions. The model is derived from a free Helmholtz energy density enriched by the damage gradient contribution. The Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions are solved on a global finite element level by means of a Fischer–Burmeister func

This study examines how university teachers in two Swedish higher education institutions grapple with the challenge of connecting research and teaching. With the increasing pressure in higher education to improve graduate employability, teaching is expected to include skills-oriented, vocational training which may (or may not) conflict with the more traditional Humboldtian ideal, in which teaching

We present an in-depth analysis of the surface band alignment and local potential distribution of InP nanowires containing a p-n junction using scanning probe and photoelectron microscopy techniques. The depletion region is localized to a 15 nm thin surface region by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and an electronic shift of up to 0.5 eV between the n- A nd p-doped nanowire segments was observed a

The Swedish Reference Group for Antiviral Therapy (RAV) published recommendations for the treatment of HIV infection in this journal most recently in 2017. An expert group under the guidance of RAV here provides updated recommendations. The most important updates in the present guidelines are the following: (a) The risk of HIV transmission through condomless sex from individuals with fully suppres

Air pollution and climate change have a significant impact on human health and well-being and contribute to the onset and aggravation of allergic rhinitis and asthma among other chronic respiratory diseases. In Westernized countries, households have experienced a process of increasing insulation and individuals tend to spend most of their time indoors. These sequelae implicate a high exposure to i

Introduction: Predictive coding models propose that high hypnotic suggestibility confers a predisposition to hallucinate due to an elevated propensity to weight perceptual beliefs (priors) over sensory evidence. Multiple lines of research corroborate this prediction and demonstrate a link between hypnotic suggestibility and proneness to anomalous perceptual states. However, such effects might be m

A charging system which allows vehicles to charge while moving makes it possible to both reduce onboard battery capacity and alleviate range anxiety. An Electric Road System (ERS) is a piece of charging equipment developed to allow charging of moving vehicles. At high charging power levels, the heat generated in the ERS needs to be managed in order to prevent overheating of the equipment. This pap

The far-infrared spectrum of the weakly OH···πhydrogen-bonded benzene-water complex has been studied in neon and argon matrices, below 30 K. The in-plane water libration has been observed in both neon and argon for H2O and D2O complexed with C6H6 and C6D6 but not for the corresponding complexes involving HDO. Both H2O and D2O can tunnel between the two possible hydrogen bonds. This is not possible

In this work, we explored the photoinduced charge carriers dynamics rationalizing the photocatalytic oxidation of NO over N-doped Bi2O2CO3/graphene quantum dots composites(N-BOC/GQDs) via time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL). Under visible light illumination, only GQDs can be photoexcited and inject electrons to N-BOC within 0.5 ns. Under UV light irradiation, the interfacial Z-scheme heterojunc

The aim of the current study was to examine the factorial structure of the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task (MCAST), using a father doll to address the child's attachment representation to father. While the MCAST, a doll story completion task measuring attachment representations in early childhood, has been validated for use with a mother doll, its use for assessing attachment to father is r

A continuous-time, 65-nm CMOS, front-end for processing DNA sequencing measurements from biological nanopore sensors is presented. The measured design has an input referred noise floor of 8.5\;{\text{fA}}/\sqrt {{\text{Hz}}} for 100 pA DC current while consuming 10X less power. The chip also consists of an integrated ADC.

The problem of adversarial CNN attacks is considered, with an emphasis on attacks that are trivial to perform but difficult to defend. A framework for the study of such attacks is proposed, using real world object manipulations. Unlike most works in the past, this framework supports the design of attacks based on both small and large image perturbations, implemented by camera shake and pose variat

Purpose: Buckets containing floating reed (Phragmites australis) simulated floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) and were used to improve the remediation performance of synthetic greywater (SGW). The aim of the study was to investigate the behaviour of FTWs for treatment of key contaminants within artificial greywater. Methods: Pelletized ochre based on acid mine water sludge was introduced to select
